Heart Burn - ouch!

I've never had it before that I remember, but last night, we ate quite late, and had fish and chips - out of sheer badness. Really enjoyed it but when I went to bed about an hour and half later I had the worst heart burn.

Is this a pregnancy thing, or just my payment for eating junk!?

I still have it a bit this morning, any of you ladies got any tips for a cure?!

I have never really had heartburn before but in the last couple of weeks I really have felt it. Especially after eating my evening meal. I checked with the midwife yesterday who said that it is perfectly normal. Hope it gets easier.

I have had heartburn since i was about 16 1/2 weeks pregnant! i don't like gaviscon etc, what i use are rennies (minty chews version) which are great and always help, also drinking milk eases it a bit. most of my heartburn is random, but eating late at night makes it worse, i end up having a rennie in the middle of the night! i was wondering about men getting sympathy pregnancy symtoms as hubby never suffered from heartburn/indigestion until i got pregnant, quite often we sit there sharing a pack of rennies-how romantic! lol! hope this helps! pinkpower36+4

I have suffered heartburn and indigestion from bout week 10. Mine got quite severe tho and have ended up in hospital a few times with it. My doctor eventually put me on medication to stop it. The tricks i found at home where peptac liquid, raising your bed at the head end, sleeping propped up on pillows and i never eat after half 6. Hope it gets better for you. Katie xx40 weeks today!!
